We are a completely indoor event with stalls positioned through the whole building from our meeting rooms, and open spaces to the museum itself and our cells.
We recommend to our visitors a one way system therefore every stall is passed by each visitor.
Spaces for our Christmas Market are very limited. We will consider both new and previous attendees to our markets. If you are unsuccessful this year, we will automatically add you to a reserves list and be in touch if anything changes. We do our best to have a selection of products, with very little overlap to give our visitors the best experience and our stall holders the highest opportunity to have a successful weekend.
We are aware of a new market that will be taking place around Dorchester (outdoor stalls) on Sunday 24th November. This year, we will be working together to promote both events and hope that both can benefit from an increased footfall.
If you would like to apply for this market, please complete the form below ensuring you have provided information of your business and products including any social media pages and websites.
Please make sure you have read the terms and conditions for our markets (email attachment or our website).
Please note: Applications from third party sellers such as Avon and Body Shop will not be successful.
Closing date for applications is Sunday 3rd March.
All offer emails will be sent out by Sunday 10th March.
Payment will then be required within 2 weeks of this offer. All payment details will be sent with the offer.
Any stalls that were unsuccessful, I will try to contact by end of March.
